It also seem to affect 'shift':
peterz@hirez:~/tmp$ gcc -fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow,shift overflow.c ; ./a.out
overflow.c:6:11: runtime error: left shift of 2147483647 by 2 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
-4
peterz@hirez:~/tmp$ gcc -fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow,shift -fwrapv overflow.c ; ./a.out
-4
